I'm on the thing but will be active on the bird until I am not. Happy to follow and reconnect with you here. Especially you. I'll check in from time to time.

Sounds like the commentaries are hit and miss. Am sure all are prepared well but not every speaker is for everyone. We weren’t asked :)

Finances don’t allow collecting them all plus Shout makes it a wee bit difficult for us foreign customers to buy from them.

Since the thing with the 4 just got announced, thought I’d catch up with the thing with the 3.

Reviewing the first half of Eureka’s Exact Revenge set, The Eunuch comes from a fresh voice in Teddy Yip, delivering sharp revenge beats and fierce swordplay. Pai Ying, in Dragon Inn reprisal mode, doesn’t disappoint. A lean, confident slice of early-70s Shaw wuxia.

Nam Nai-choi's Shaw Brothers actioner MEN FROM THE GUTTER is coming soon from Vinegar Syndrome. He wasn't just goo and gore in the vein Story Of Ricky. He knew genres, and this demonstrates it well.

Serious lack of Combo Cops, because that is a film for every year. That's how it positioned itself, to be legally designated a 2025 film also.

Good option for US customers while Europeans should wait for Arrow to announce theirs. That’s the beauty of the Cinema City/Golden Princess deal going global.

We wouldn’t be able to produce at the frequency of the high profile contributors but we’ve made enough connections to be mildly in demand at the rate we ARE able to produce at. Got a few unreleased, two being researched now and it’s the most material we’ve ever compiled.

You’re a sweet boy, Matthew. Thank you. You get cookies and love.

Not that anyone really cares about us yacking on discs, but we enjoy the challenge, and getting better. I also adopt a strict STFU attitude when it comes to reveals. They only happen when announcements do. Like Challenge Of The Lady Ninja.

Watched a ton I didn’t log because I don’t want to leave a trail of breadcrumbs in regards to blu ray and 4K physical stuff thingies involving talking I’m working on 😆

I think Nansun Shi even apologized when the film got foreign screenings with those subtitles in place.

Kenny B @sogoodreviews.bsky.social · 9d

While I can tolerate most old subtitle translations, on theatrical prints or carried over from those prints into optional subtitles like on early Hong Kong editions, the subs for Peking Opera Blues were legendarily and excessively bad back in the day. The film needed a touchup in many ways.

Actually two commentaries on the go, at the same time. We sure can multitask.

What if there was a Dean Shek movie where you didn’t want to throttle him, where you actually rooted for him as a battle-scarred hero? That’s The Raid (1991), from Tsui Hark & Ching Siu-tung.

Hear why Shek is the right fit as Uncle Choi in the latest episode of Podcast On Fire.

A veteran of dramas & huangmei operas, Yueh Feng brings fresh eyes to wuxia’s revenge cycle in The Bells of Death (1968). Primal, bloody, and raw and proof that even in the twilight of his career he could match, even outdo, the new wave of wuxia films.

May I just say, Podcast on Fire is one of the best podcasts out there, maybe the best podcast about Hong Kong film. Comfort food for the soul. Sometimes I skip episodes because I want to see the movie first, but I am eternally grateful for Kenny and the crew of contributors. Get it in your ears.
